This screed is the summation of a lifetime of work as a feminist, now retired from a job as an editor at the Globe and Mail. She apparently also teaches at the Toronto Metropolitan University, known previously as Ryerson.
The continuing problem of bias against and violence to women is carefully documented with a host of examples, some not at all obvious to this white male of priveledge. The evils of nondisclosure clauses are clear, particularly when it involves instances of sexual abuse. A host of quotes and studies vey adequately documents the continuing, major problem including discussion of Miriam Toews « Women Talking. », but does not include Maria Moores equally frightening « Not my Kind Of Mennonite. », an equally frightening book.
The technology of modern tracking developed mainly by misogynous men is used to aid men in abusive relationships. The history of misogynous abuse, particularly by Indiginous men, is often inadequately investigated by white male police until it leads to murder. The lack of knowledge and interest in investment opportunities by women is also perpetuated by male investment brokers and counsellors.
There is at least one error. The first female head of state was Sri Lanka, not Iceland, according to Wikipedia.
With personal and family experience with misogynous abuse, and lots of personal history, I quite enjoyed and learned a lot from reading this book in my continuing efforts to be fair to all women.
4/5
